A digestibility trial was conducted with the objectives to evaluate the effects of supplementing single or mixtures of selected MPTs or wheat bran on feed intake, digestibility, and passage rate in Menz sheep offered a basal feed of tef (Eragrostis tef) straw. The study was conducted using 36 mal...

A study was conducted in three peasant associations of the Awassa Woreda, southern Ethiopia for a period of one year (from June 1997 up to May 1998) with the objectives of determining the chemical composition and nutritive value of major feed resources. In the selection of three peasant associati...
